Joe Wheeler State Park

• Location: First Creek
• Lat / Lon: N 34° 48.885' / W 087° 19.199'
• Depth: 15 feet
• Description:

  Anchor in 15 ft of water in the slight cove between the marina and the boat ramp. Plenty of swing room in all directions with 125 ft of rode. Quiet and scenic. Boat ramp has a nice dinghy dock, and a great hiking/running trail that heads towards the marina. Some fishing boat traffic, but mostly along the opposite shore, so not a big wake issue, even on a holiday weekend. Marina has clean bathrooms, good diesel prices, pump out, and water at the fuel dock.

  DISCLAIMER: Before committing to an anchorage, you should confirm that the location is not governed by a regulation that may conflict with your plans. An increasing number of states and municipalities are enacting laws that define where and how long you may anchor.
